Few days ago, I thought it was a pity there is no place to discuss about IAM. Well, ok, there are some places like Sun IDM’s forums, the #opensso channel, etc. however all this place are related to a specific product. For example I don’t think the Sun IDM’s forum is a good place to ask question about pros and cons of Sun IDM vs Novell IDM 🙂 Well, you can, but there is a big chance that all answers leads you on Sun IDM ! 🙂

So, as you probably ever guessed, I create an IRC channel, so you can join us (there are already some very interesting people!) on the freenode network (irc.freenode.net), on the channel ##iam, note the double # is not a typo.

Interest by OpenSSO (especially in the Access Manager part)? If yes, you should be interest by my VMWare image. The image was made to demonstrate an application protected by opensso. The application is divided in three parts, the first one is available for everyone (non authenticated users). The second part, the secure area, is available only for users authenticated in OpenSSO, and members of group employee. And finally, only users authenticated by certificates and member of group employee can access to the very secure area.

In order to access to the very secure area, after importing the certificate, you usually need to restart your browser. Indeed, most of browsers use a persistent HTTP/1.1 session with server, in this case, the HTTPS negociation is made only one time.

The glassfish’s console is http://opensso.local.asyd.net:4848/ not http://opensso.local.asyd.net:4848/opensso
